Project: Spanish Grammer Series
About the Project
Overview:
ADi worked with One Nation Films to create a series of Spanish lessons for high school students, that would accompany a set of textbooks. We designed, modeled, and animated the characters, created detailed charts and quizzes, and composited a video host into CG scenes for 20 lessons ranging from 5-10 minutes in length. Production was conducted over the course of 11 months and consisted of 237 short animated clips, 12 separate characters and 32 different environmental sets.

Plans for revision and updating:
-
There were such tight turnarounds for each of these animated snippets that we didn't have a lot of time for refining. I would really like to circle back to these and do some clean-up work on the lines and push the toon portion of the look/feel further.
-
Though I did not do any of the character animations, I would love to pull the biped rigs (Max's auto rig) and create traditional rigs with more flexibility - allowing for natural movement and subtle gesturing with greater emotional read.
